Love / Do the Polish girls like foreign boyfriends or they just prefer local boys? [34]


I think Polish girls like good decent boys first of all - like most women, I suppose - whether they are foreigners or locals, doesn`t matter.

That is a pathetic approach. Do you also raise your kids this way? just tell them they are wrong and nothing else? I seriously pity them, then. If you do it, you are one lousy father. Hopefully, you have no kids. :):)

When these two are juxtaposed to each other, farming always wins coz hard work in the fields is better than any sport exercise.
However, some country guys join local clubs, mostly soccer.

It means Polish women are not dumb coz I have never seen a tatoo like that. :):)

Life / Polish Tattoo (considered the eagle) [29]


The main aim of getting a tatoo is to stand out of the average crowd. One can achieve it with a really unique design.

If I was to get a tatto which nobody has ever had, it would be the red and white arm band tatoo resembling the one that Warsaw insurgents wore during 1944 Rising: I had never seen any of that on anybody`s arm.

As long as Slovakian is Slavic, it really doesn`t matter. We are one big family, Russians included. :):)

Oops - the amalgam of these three hobbies will soon break into pieces and only two will remain: drinking and smoking. Sex wil be out of question,.

Language / Is it too late for me to learn Polish..? [65]


Yes, not very wise of them. Knowledge of foreign languages gives you a much wider perspective into culture, history and social issues and in result makes you a more intelligent person.


No, it depends on individuals. Some Poles care about their heritage, others don`t and do their best to become plastic Poles.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]

Persian perspective?

Two years ago I saw an article in feminine press about a young Iranian woman, a political refugee, who settled in Poland in 2012 and today concludes: Poland is a cold country inhabited by cold people. I didn`t read it. What did she mean? Are Poles as cold as Scandinavians?

You`d better not get dressed like that - someone might feel offended and abuse you verbally or even physically (rare).

News / Are there interests that Poland share with Russia? [50]


Why? Coz Russia strives at being surrounded by her dependencies or vassal states to feel secure in Europe. The Kremlin doesn`t need independent countries around Russia coz they are too unpredictable and one day they might become a source of trouble for Russia. Russians have been haunted by their Tartar occupation trauma since 14th century - they have never forgotten it.

Law / Voting guide for the Sejm and Senat Oct 13 2019 [4]

Don`t worry about guides. Just go to the Polish Embassy and show them a proof of your Polish citizenship. Then put only one cross next to only one candidate from the political party you support. More crosses means your vote will be nullified. In case of problems, embassy workers will help you. As simple as that.

Yes, I know this British reserve. Instead of saying:excellent fried eggs!, Brits just say: not bad. It has always infuriated Americans.

If you like them, I should recommend their best album to you: the one from 1988. I listened to it very often in the past, still do from time to time. Music is classical crude punk, but lyrics are inspiring. The vocalist - nicknamed Siczka - has become a legend.

UK, Ireland / Let's discuss Polish and British, only constructive (though we will digress) [60]


Yes. In 1990s, when Poles started to travel extensively looking for work abroad, I heard stories about versatile Poles who could do any manual job, much to foreginers` utter surprise. A driver who took us to schools in the countryside for afternoon courses went to Italy for summer employment and found it in a local factory. There he worked at the direct production line but also dealt with electrical repairs and mechanics of broken forklifts. Italian workmates were flabbergasted seeing it.

Now a fundamental question arises: Is it better to be good at everything, but lacking real professional quality than to be a true specialist in only one field?

Those numbers have risen since 2010 but as they have in other countries, too, we can say that cultural/ social differences between Poland and others are still visible.

KSU, when it comes to punk/post punk music, is my fav Polish group. They started in late 1970s and soon became cult.

Check this out: KSU at their best from 2010. Who will defend Poland? The text is a bit infantile, but music - brilliant.
